I don't know if DigiView is available for other systems, but the technique of producing a picture (the horizontal windowblind effect from left to right, and the subsequence colorscan from top to bottom to colorize the result) was featured on the "Murder By Moonlight" made for TV movie with Bridgitte Neilsen (sp?) a couple of nights ago. This happened when they received a picture transmission of the bad guy from home base. So maybe Amiga WAS a star, in the background anyway (the computer itself was not visible in any scene). (nobody else posted this that I noticed, but then maybe everyone else spent their time working on Amy instead of [in retrospect] a great waste of time spent in watching the movie) Rob Peck

But I noticed that when Bridgitte analyzed the drug that Elezar supposedly drank, there was a display that reminded me VERY VERY MUCH of animballs that is was posted a long time back to usenet. They used just a simple cube arrangement which came with the package. So, maybe Amy was the star? Bill Murphy murphy@newton.physics.purdue.edu

As far as I could see, the movie "Murder by Moonlight" did contain scenes of Deluxe Paint - but on what looked like an IBM system. BUT, have you noticed on the PBS show "MOTORWEEK" that during one report there was an Amiga 1000 sitting on a desk.?

I have three things to say/ask... Amiga on TV: the Cable TV Prevue guide in Albuq NM has: a commercial for the 500 every 30 minutes or so. a picture of the famous ape with color cycling (DPAINT??) Amiga Live: for the a1000: what excellent low cost memory boards that have passthrus that work with the a1000 amiga live system?
